Having healthy and glowing skin is something that every woman dreams daily for because healthy skin especially facial skin, reflects the beauty of the person and I'm speaking entirely about one's physicality. Healthy skin is a reflection of one's internal health. Should a person has healthy skin from head to toe, it considers that her or his internal body is also healthy. Furthermore, having healthy skin partly defines one's beauty and let's face reality here - people will acknowledge should one have healthy and glowing skin.

The Duck Is Back At It Again

During this time, the situation around the world is difficult. The Covid-19 Pandemic has got almost the entire world sitting on quarantine, or as I prefer to put since in Malaysia we don't call it quarantine, Movement Control Order (MCO). It seems in these difficult times that we are starting to see the dark sides of many people we have not seen before. Most recent news in Malaysia - The dUCk Scarves Co-founder, Vivy Yusof, has found herself and her brand under hot waters again. And this time, it's not about her comments.

5214 Wishes For UNB's ONADO Trip

Me being a fan of K-pop, is not a secret. Me being a fan of UNB, is also not a secret. Me falling in love and currently is in love with Japan, that too is not a secret.Me being a fan of travelling, of course that is not a secret. Who hates travelling? But let me share a little secret. Or should I say, let me share my certain wish that involves UNB, travelling and Japan.

If I Was A Rich Girl...

 

Uncommon James' UNITA Wooden Bowl at USD$40

Cue Gwen Stefani's song. Now if I was a rich girl, considering how obsessed I am with Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari and also how much I keep up with their brands, I would probably get myself Uncommon James' Unita Wooden Bowl.

BUT I'M NOT RICH SO...

Mareqeshi's Accacia Wood Salad Bowl at MYR95.00 (Before discount)

I decided to get myself a cheaper version which is not only affordable but also within the borders of Malaysia. I might actually consider getting this as I am currently in a salad mood. 

P/S : This is not a paid post. My status is not quite up there...yet.

Keeping Up Update : KUWTK Season 8 Episode 5 Review

I don't really like to admit it but I do follow the Kardashians reality show although not religiously but I still follow. And trust me, it is not the drama that made me follow this messed up family. But, despite what they are doing and how ugly sometimes they portray themselves, I do admire the sisters for working really hard to engraved their family name in the world and industry of success. Aside the drama and also their family bond, sometimes and in every episode, you can actually catch the family in their working environment and that is what made me watch the show because I get inspired by women who works really hard to do something for themselves. Like in the latest episode, the fact that Kim is going to Law School is one admiration on its own but the reality of her using her name, her influence and her popularity to find justice where it should be, personally, to me is very admirable but one thing that is driving me nuts and that is the situation involving her sister, Khloe and her baby Daddy who seem to just unable to be shaken off, Tristan Thompson. Read on and be warned, spoiler alert.

A Little Bit of Duck

The rich and the famous or the ones born rich has strike again. Or could it be that this is a story where one strikes too soon or a mistake that has been blown out of proportion? A few weeks ago, one of Malaysia top business mogul, Vivy Yusof - owner and founder of Fashion Valet, was caught in a rift of backlash from the netizens due to her comment that about the B40 community or simply known as the lower income community. 

Throwback Thursday : My Love for Gossip Girl

When you have spend most of your sixteen to early twenties in between 2008 - 2010, you are probably familiar with 'Gossip Girl' - the TV Drama that introduced us Blake Lively and Leighton Meester and I am madly in love with the drama as I am madly in love with the books. Honestly, I was slightly turned off when I heard of the TV Show spin-off of the book series but I was so impressed by the performance of most of the actors that I can't help myself to love the show and here I am walking down a few memory lanes of some of my fave moment in Gossip Girl.

April Opening : A Month of Hope

The world is facing a pandemic and almost all countries is either on lockdown, lockout or in Malaysia, we are under strict Movement Control Order throughout the month of March. So to summarize, we are all under a pretty difficult time. But as many times as this has been said, at the end of a dark tunnel, there is a light and I guess April is the month where we can expect better changes and improving outcomes. Personally, for me it's a month of 'hope'.

Staying Safe in My Birthday Month

It's a dark, dark month this March and earlier on 18th March, Malaysia started the Movement Control Order (MCO) throughout the nation in order to control and treat the currently spreading Covid-19 virus. As much as it hurts me that this is happening in the month of my birthday, I still am very positive that we will all get through this moment.

February Read : Being A Qur'an Tag Girl by Ayesha Syahira

February is here and while many are celebrating this month with love, I decided to jump onto the band wagon but instead of showering post of how to celebrate love, I just want to celebrate this month to get back on the journey on to love myself first and one of the many ways I understand for a Muslim to love themselves is to first love their Maker - Allah S.W.T. One of the many ways I can start to rekindle my relationship with Allah is to pick up whatever best advice I could get in every form available. This month, the advice comes in the form of a book by Ayesha Syahira. 

Checking On Myself In The Year 2020

A new year has come and this post has come in very, very late. Then again, there is a saying goes better late than never, right? At one point, some time before today, I actually thought this post was NEVER going to happen but I just had to push myself to write this post. Honestly speaking, I am in no mood to write anything and I think I'm about to fall back into pre-depresion, that phase where you just don't want to do anything and denying the truth that there is something going on inside of you that you don't really know but you know it's not right. Well, Alhamdullillah, I managed to get back up again (cue that title song form Trolls) but by no means this was an easy feat. 

Fiftytwo Talks : Let's Go Back To The Khloe/Tristan Scandal

Now, this little story about Khloe Kardashian and her baby Daddy, Tristan Thompson has been how many would put it, old news and I won't deny it, it is definitely old news. But, let's also not forget how big of a news when the scandal broke out onto the entertainment business for both times that he cheated. So many people had their own peace to speak about this scandal even Khloe herself has said her peace, just like her Instagram post on forgiving those who have wronged her and after reading about that post, I thought maybe it is times I share what I think about the whole thing. Not that my opinion matters because I'm pretty much a nobody, right now but I also have something I want to share with those who comes across this post.

Learning About Me Being My Own Problem For Better Me

It has been a few month that I have been waking up with a mild headache and anxiety that I might be suffering from ,ultiple sickness or diseases even though my health vital signs are normal. Like literally normal. So just yesterday morning, I guess I got fed up over waking up sick and feeling like I'm in a severe rut. Probably almost at the border of depression...again. I'm pretty much just feel sick waking up everyday not only with a headache but a body too lazy to even move and make anything productive for the day. Which brings me again to just realize what exactly am I doing that I just have no more will to even make anything good for myself? I am still young and there are so much that I have yet to achieve but why am I feeling so down?

September month is my self-recovery month

Honestly, I never meant to not update this blog for a month and a half ago but work did catch up on me and I wasn't able to find the right time to post anything last month which should have been an exciting month for blogging. Technically, I did plan something big to blog about last month but considering that I just didn't have any time or if I can be honest, I just didn't find the time to blog about anything. Last month was the anticipation for Malaysia's National Day so the plan was to blog about anything related to my birth country. This month is a dedication to self-recovery but just as September about to draw in, I realised that I couldn't quite blog anything about self-recovery unless I have actually started the journey, right? So earlier this month, I started my journey on my own personal self-recovery and this post is where I share the real problems with myself and what I want to do to recover from the problems and perhaps live better in the future.

30 Days Book Challenge : UPDATE -------- Failed!!!

I dread posting this because it shows just how lacking I actually am. It's true that I can comfort myself to say that I'm just human but reading has always been something that I have always loved so to find out that I have failed to finish reading this book in the time frame that I have set for myself is not only embarrassing but disappointing as well.

Going into this month with a new perspective is so far going well for me. Just last week I started my first makeover mission of making over my bedroom. Of course, that doesn’t include me trying to makeover myself physically, mentally and spiritually. Now, there was a lot that I learned while making over my bedroom and honestly, I can’t wait to share my experience with everyone.

Wishlist : Uncommon James Home Goods by Kristin Cavallari

When I was watching Laguna Beach back in the days when I was a lot younger than I am now, Kristin Cavallari was never my favourite but I still like to watch her because she is funny and fun. And she is basically the party of the show. Now, Kristin is back but not as a reality star but as an international entrepreneur and out of her many, many things that she is producing and selling, I am crazy in love with her home goods which she sells under the brand of Uncommon James Home. 

Positive Makeovers : Makeover References For Your Past Time Readings

So much more that I want to blog but as I'm preparing for my next original posts, I thought I share with everyone a few blog posts that I have been reading lately. Sometimes I read just to past my time but most of the time I actually read posts that are helpful to me like makeover tips, the next book to read, simple recipes to follow and etc. Do these posts actually will help me? Some of them do but mostly because depending on my lifestyle and my own body, it's hard to adapt myself to the changes as suggested by these bloggers. Nonetheless, it's fun for me to read. 

Positive Makeovers : The Truth About Makeovers

Makeovers sound fun especially the ones on television about personal or home make-overs. I love watching those shows. It gives me a sense of inspiration to get out there and get a makeover for myself whether it will be for personal being or even my environment. I also learned a lot from all the tips and tricks that they shared. Since it's Positive July and me being inspired to start my month rejuvenating myself to be a more positive person, I thought of giving myself a makeover. Considering that I have started to makeover my personal appearnace and my inner self, it only made more sense for me to makeover my space and environment too. But what those TV shows never sahred with their viewers or hardly ever share is probably the most important note of all - makeovers are NOT easy and I learned it the hard and rough way.

July Inspiration : Positive Makeovers

In light of celebrating this month with positivity, It was important for me to think deeply of what I can do to wake every morning from July onward, and just get by my days feeling more welcome and receptive of what will happen. I am a big believer of Allah is the best planner, and that sometimes will make me not wanting to plan anything for the day. However, that attitude only brought more boring days ahead so in others words, I realised that if i were to ever want to celebrate and preach about positive July, I have to start with myself and that first step to give myself and the environment around me a good make over.
